Analysis

(4%) BALTIMORE. The Orioles couldn't get anything going yesterday and lost their 9th consecutive playoff game. Enough's enough. I expect them to snap that losing streak this afternoon. The O's have been great all season. Picking up Eflin already paid off and now he has a chance to really help them. Note that if Baltimore had won Game 1, they may not have elected to go with Eflin. However, they now need this win and he's their best chance to get it. He had a 2.60 ERA in nine starts since coming to Baltimore, a 2.30 ERA his past seven. Lugo had an excellent season for the Royals but he was considerably better prior to the All Star Break. The O's had nine hits (2 HRs) in five innings off Lugo when they faced him earlier in the season. Look for them to bounce back and even the series. *Reduce to 3% if greater than -160
